Time to break out the double magnums of Sawmill Creek and Peller Estates.

Hope he has fun,

I doubt I could pry him that far away from a corkscrew.

The weather is less than clement, so the fleet is heading for hibernation in
any case.

Our sunny Fall weather has turned to sudden precipitation, alas.

Perhaps a crackling fire and a bottle of vintage Port or two will take their
minds off the weather.

Pulled an 82 Bordeaux for lunch - figure Ian needs a change from those young
rustic country wines he drinks......

I hope it was (only) the Latour or Leoville Las Cases.

You promised to keep the Cheval Blanc for when I arrived - *remember*???

It was a Haut Bailly, and quite presentable.

I let Ian into the cellar when we got home and he kept muttering this mantra
that sounded like 'Mouton'.........

Having been to that cellar myself, I can forgive Ian any manner of
expostulation. I expect that the gist of his mutterings were "how to
sneak these out of the house without Bill noticing..."

Your gain is our loss! We had intended our next trip to France to
include a visit to La Souvigne and I'd already put some bottles to one
side to travel with us. Checked the web site a couple of weeks ago
and then made some other arrangements before going back on yesterday
evening to finalise it. That's when I found that Ian and Jacqui had
shut up shop and gone on their travels. What a bummer! Oh well, I'll
stick the bottles back in the cellar and hope we can get something
booked for next year.

On the bright side, I've decided to use the days to go on a mini-spree
either in the middle Mosel or down in the Banyuls area.

In the Banyuls area you should consider :
Domaine de la Rectorie (Banyuls in many forms, great rose', great
reds)
La Preceptorie de Centernach (Maury, superb whites and reds)
Domaine Rancy (for some old style dry rancio wines)
Domaine de la Tour Vieille
Domaine Gauby (some expensive wines, but middle range is superb)
Domaine des Foulards Rouges (fresh light not so tannic very perfumed
reds)
Domaine du Clos des Fees (dazzling quality)
Domaine Ferrer Ribiere (interesting old vine carignans)
Domaine Olivier Pithon (cousin of Loire's Jo Pithon)

On the way there consider Domaine Rimbert (St Chinian) and Leon Barral
(Faugeres).

Have fun, and if you pass by AVignon or Aix give a shout, we could
meet.
